Fishing in the South Pacific

The South Pacific has long been known for the exciting experiences the waters can offer. It is famous for tourists as well as a number of neighboring countries because of adventures and excitement that is offered. Many fishermen travel to New Zealand when summer in the northern hemisphere draws to a close because this is the season when tuna and billfish swim closer to the shores to find a warmer place.

The season for fishermen to have a great time is especially the months after winter. You do not need many things to be able to enjoy the exciting destinations of the South Pacific. All you really need are your clothes and hats and off you go.

Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Tonga and Niue are places that most tourists visit to fish. These spots have been the highest rated fishing vacation sites because of the abundant fish and the weather as well. These spots have temperatures that attract fish, which explains why they are abundant in these places. Fishing in these spots is never complicated. You can even target sailfish and mahi-mahi with your own tackle.

Sailfish have been famous for their aerobatics with their sails flashing in the sunlight. It is also in the South Pacific that you can witness a big bull mahi-mahi lure you out. For the adventurers, this is also a chance for you to cast “poppers” and jigs to a dogtooth tuna or a trevally.

These fishing hotspots are perfect not only for those who like to cook what they catch but also for those who have the “catch and release” philosophy. Game fishermen in these places usually catch Sailfish, Northern Blue Tuna, Marlin, Spanish mackerel, Red Emperor, Trevally and Cod.

If you are someone who loves fly-fishing, creek fishing and blue water fishing, then the South Pacific is a perfect venue for you. Whether you are an expert or a beginner, there are many skilled and experienced fishing guides and best quality boats that are safe and will ensure that you have the best fishing experience.

It is recommended to hire a sport fishing or a specialist game fishing boat to have fun and make the most of your fishing trip. Game fishing and sport fishing are both popular in these spots. These are the trips that used to be played only by the rich but these days anybody can play!
